abstract = "We apply an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to solve the
Rubinstein's Basic Alternating-Offer Bargaining
Problem, and compare our experimental results with its
analytic game-theoretic solution. The application of EA
employs an alternative set of assumptions on the
players' behaviours. Experimental outcomes suggest that
the applied co-evolutionary algorithm, one of
Evolutionary Algorithms, is able to generate convincing
approximations of the theoretic solutions. The major
advantages of EA over the game-theoretic analysis are
its flexibility and ease of application to variants of
Rubinstein Bargaining Problems and complicated
bargaining situations for which theoretic solutions are
unavailable.",
